  1. i never meant to bring in the dirty world of politics. but sad this "problem" has become a calling for some. i guess just because i tend to not get "sick" i see things in a different light. sure i have lung problems. and it can get bad just because someone must smoke, yes i have a allergy to the stuff. but one can only see things as there life has been. i am a hermit by nature, so do not go many places, and i avoid city's "like the plague" --no pun meant--, just a long term saying. yes if you or a family member gets sick, lock up all at home for a couple weeks. but i do not understand why mom n pop company's must shut down, (some gone for good). while mega corps like walmart get to stay open. or shut down whole city's. just one city in the valley has more legal US citizens living in them, than the whole county i live in. this job i have i get three days for my weekend, and in those days i might see, talk, etc with maybe 10-15 people. during my work days, (nights really) maybe about the same (most in just one day). but three nights i am in the yard goat, trying to stay warm (summer trying to not boil). i am not a health nut, just me. maybe my insides have just to much acid to harbor many "bugs, germs, virus, ?). but when i have gotten sick. i am down for at least two-three weeks. months to recover. as a young man, i never did get sick. did get hit by cars,(sad more than twice), been shot at, fell off a mt once. just not sick.
  2. first off NO test is "free" the cost is paid via your payments to a medical provider or tax moneys. (in what ever country you live in). second yes if you are sick. or think you are. then lose work and stay home. burn off some sick days, or vac time. i never said this "bug" was brought on by the democrats, just they are making $$ off it. communist china let it lose (by a screw-up, or on purpose? i do not know). but they allowed people they knew had contracted it to return home to there adopted countries, that is how it exploded around the world, as if it had done a "normal" spread it would never had gotten so far so fast. i have always been in favor of better would wide travel controls. but never thought of something like this. most of the problems are in major city's and places were the pop is in close living spaces, not out in the rural country sides. i am just sick of all this, we do not need hourly up dates of this. heck not even daily, maybe only weekly or by weekly. freeway traffic sure by the hr in some areas. at times of the day. but not about people getting sick. maybe if the 10's of millions had died (in the USA that is) as the "news" had said, but never came about. why no out-cry about hart attacks? diabetes? high BP? and about 10 or so other medical problems, each of these kill more in one year than this covid thing has. check out the cdc web page for this info. but for now i am off to work, delivering junk food for the masses to eat. and no i do not eat this stuff. too much fat and salt for me.
  3. i just did a quick look for links, and now for what ever reason the links posted are not working for me. just because you might test + for the "bug" in your system, does not say you died or even got sick from it. so no reason to even list it. and now tonight on the mainstream media outlets, they are talking about a ID card for those who have gotten the shot, with a "enhanced" one for some but not all. this is over in the eu, i did not catch the one country that is now issuing them. but can see it now, no card or info on a computer file, not allowed to go to work or travel to any place nor even go into a store to buy bread. i will not even get into the invasion of your privacy by the mega computer company's just to "get a card on file".
  4. links to this. enjoy this reading. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/04/07/covid19-death-certificate-change-stirs-controversy https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/anti-vax-doctor-covid-19-death-certificates-984407/ https://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/_static/14,22075,420,694.html https://fox11online.com/news/fox-11-investigates/fact-check-how-are-covid-19-deaths-counted-do-hospitals-get-money-for-covid-19-deaths https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/verify/do-hospitals-get-paid-more-for-covid-19-cases/509-977c448f-d9a6-42f8-a443-968e9b610cac https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/01/31/how-covid-19-immunity-certificates-could-restore-our-lives-or-divide-us/
  5. will try to find it. but on a not main stream news source, some of the so called stimulus moneys went to pay Drs for listing covied on a death cert. as not all of the reported deaths were from this little "bug". it is one of those little add on things that cost the US tax payer dearly.
  6. i do not understand this. nobody having stock owns anything except a computer file that promises to maybe get you something like money, one day...maybe? now if you had the gold, sliver, fish, etc in hand. that would be a real investment. (yes fish you need to sell right away).
  7. i do not have a link to any numbers, but ca is not ONE state. there are the () controlled city's, and then the rest of the state. in the mega city of what is called la. sure the bug, infection what ever you want to call it, rate is high, even with the masks and closure of many company's. (strange wall mart is not required to close there doors?), look around the world, the rates are high in city's, were people live in each others pockets. not much in the burbs, and far less were people live apart from each other. the county i live in is right next to san joaquin county. they have a high rate in stockton, and a high pop of mexacan nationals, and how many illegals? big farm community deal there. so many move around many 100's of miles with out a care, or any medical care. this county has none of that, and only less than 30 have been said to have gotten the "bug". and most of them worked in the sf bay area, the others were there friends/family. some here are pod people, but most are not, we just need to live our lives as we see fit. then there is a flip side of this problem, all the "cleaners" are making some sick, i have lung problems, and yes the cleaners, and perfumes are hurting me, from just bad sneezing to i can not breath. i am in a minority, so the health people can not make money off me, so they do not care.
  8. my info on the bad test kits came from a news source out of your country. now the test kits are not these, but another kit some months back. along with story,s about cutting ties with communist china's investments in your country. something about a very bad port deal. and here in the usa, some Drs are reporting covied deaths only cause they get paid to list this on the death cert. and then another part of the problem is the open boarders policy of one part of our government. as just a person, that knows nobody sick let alone died in the past year. i am just sick of this lock-down garbage. as i can get nothing done, even places i used to buy items from are close down never to reopen. or blame back orders on the flu sure if your sick or (like the warehouse were i work) want a couple extra weeks vacation call in sick. but then some there call in sick to just get drunk. but it is good your country is testing things first. as both of the so called "vaccines" here are related to deaths from the drugs. one has been pulled form use.
  9. i do not get it? why test if your not sick? why refuse to go to your Dr if you are sick? (but then... kaiser is refusing to even let you make any appt's to see any Dr). millions have and millions more will test "pos" from FALSE testing. testing labs get paid more for a + test, than a - test. then just another bad batch of test kits. Aus had to destroy millions of communist chinese made test kits due to this problem. and millions will test "pos" and never get sick, nor pass it on. so there is more to it than just testing pos on a home kit. i forget where the story came out of (country) was watching the bbc on pbs, but you can get the test kit out of a vending machine. but then mail it in.....then get to wait a month (story said 20-30 days) for the results to get back to you.
  10. i am getting fat, as no place to go out to eat except a grease burger joint. can not even ride a bicycle around these hills. plus it is winter with some ice on the roads, and (hurray we get some rain now) then i try to take care of my mom, who is now a "locked in" cause of the mess. only place to go is a burger joint. no real restaurants open. but my daily life has not changed. wake up go to work, get off work go home, sleep, get up. repeat. repeat. etc. have not even had a pizza in over four months. the one down the street had to shut down cause he could not pay his bills, or even get any workers. the mexican restaurant across the hwy has shut down cause no body could sit and eat there. heck even a deli had to close down. small town here so this is a BIG loss. at least to me going out to eat had something to offer other than just food. heck even a in and out was a once every couple weeks treat.
  11. well it is not a "significant" number if the makers of said product have pulled it from usage. and my mom is 88 and has been told by her Drs to go away, and that she will not see a shot till late this year if at all. i would post a link to what i have said, but it was on the daily talking heads show at the 6:pm covied 19 story briefing. in the building she lives in , nobody has been allowed to get a shot. 5 floors 20 room a floor. everyone there is over 70, and some are almost bed bound. those that are such get moved to the other building as that one is a care home. and family of those in there can not go in the building. (shots?).
  12. not TX. but here in ca, no one outside of government (as in politically connected or medical/fire/police) can even try to get a shot, this includes any none government ambulance workers. and have been told if and when possible will be only getting a HALF dose. and then one of the makers product has been pulled. as it has been making people very sick.
  13. being a avid 4 wheeler for a long time, having a onboard winch is mostly having to haul extra weight around. but when needed it it worth it's weight in gold. no mater what type of winch power you use, just make sure the mounts are properly secured to both frame rails. and rated for three/four times the winches rating. get two proper rated snatch blocks, 30 foot of chain. a 30 foot jerk strap. tree protector. couple pars of heavy duty gloves, and a couple of the protection blankets from u-haul. and MUST LEARN the safety use of your winch. as people do die each year do to unsafe usage of a wench. there is more to getting unstuck than it looks to be, but get a couple of those tire boards. high lift jack, et.
  14. from google earth it just looks like a lonely stretch of road, there is no rime or reason for any state to restrict any roadway. but here in ca there are roads that are not restricted... but should be, do to the way the road is built. as unsafe for any commercial truck or trailer, even a class A or C motor home. some roads are not safe for the weight or size of a class A commercial truck. (states should replace any unsafe bridges). as for your rv, just enjoy, but watch out in some areas (not just on this road) for clearances.
  15. i guess cause i drive a class A truck, i know how to back up just by aligning the truck and trailer. and then just back up using the left side mirror, till i fell it go clunk. at worst get out once-twice if i need to adjust the height of the pin. (aka: at home the pin sits above my head and i am just under 6 feet tall).
  16. not the east coast. but the gov here in ca is saying lockdowns must increase and continue till jan 2022 at the least, along with a longer time for the curfew.
  17. down to the 30's ? and here i believed florida never got below 70 F. and 300% humidity. guess i have been told wrong. but yes take hwy 10, as some places along hwy 40 will be snowed/iced in at times, do not even think about hwy 80 up north. one of these days i would like to see the state.
  18. i have had more than my share of "delays". but today i received a package that was not set to arrive till monday. ordered on the 11th here by the 13th am. from austin, texas to a small town in northern ca. so sometimes it does work.
  19. i stopped doing the casino buffets after getting food poisoning, and then finding out there dirty secrets about food handling. and my biggest win in all of nevada was a drivers change in winnemucca, nv. dropped a quarter change into a machine and won $10.usd. cashed out and hit the rd. a friend said something like this. the lotto is another tax, for the math challenged.
  20. i would be ecstatic to just win one million dollars, (after the tax). one game will be a good 600 million this wed. jan 13 2021.
  21. if a company charges you... it a "fee" if a state charges you............it's a tax. but a state can add on there tax on top of the fee.
  22. well i am at home, and i did not even notice my mistake till later.
  23. even easier than i can post the correct words. i meant "bank by computer". not by mail.
  24. bank by mail is easy. even i can do it. i just went into debt buying a new truck. and the dealer wanted a paper check. i had to dig in a couple of areas to even find a book of paper checks. the last one written was back in the summer of 2019.
  25. also check the pipe for a "fungus" or growth in the tube. found such in my fresh water tank vent. there was a spot there the tube had a spot of water in the trap and something grew in there and prevented correct venting. it was only a "problem" when filling up the tank.
